Again ...... We have the better starting lienup .... That's what win the playoffs bro ... So what if you win in the regular season it's all about the playoffs
TP9 >>>> Conley
TA >>>> Danny Green
Rudy > Kawhi
Zach vs Timmy D ( Coin flip but I would go with Timmy D )
Marc >>>> Tiago
Honestly isn't really a competetion on which team has better defense . I never said the Spurs are bad . They could probably beat us in the playoffs but don't act like Memphis can't win
Disagree, I mean kawhi didnt choke last year.. so what reason would you have to think he would this year? Plus he is already a top perimeter defender in the league, he would start for a lot (obviously not all) of teams at his position. And tp9 is starting to play out of his mind, that keeps up, you never know
Kawhi is good when did I say he ever choked I just said you can't win with 3 point shooters . Also great PG don't mean in the playoffs that's why I think Memphis has a chance ( Conley is way better than recent PG's in the finals doe ) /. Guys like JJ Baraea , Old Kidd , Mario Chalmers , Westbrick ( Not a true PG ) and Derick Fisher look at them in the FinalsDisagree, I mean kawhi didnt choke last year.. so what reason would you have to think he would this year? Plus he is already a top perimeter defender in the league, he would start for a lot (obviously not all) of teams at his position.

TP> Conley
Gay on a good day> Kawhi
TD> Gasol
Green> Allen( Allen is useless vs Green tbh).
Randolph> Splitter but Zbo can't score at will over Splitter like he did against Macdyess/Blair.
Honestly isn't really a compeTEtion on which team is better overall. I never said the Grizzlies are bad and never said they CAN'T win, but if the Spurs is health, Grizzlies is the least scary matchup.
Spurs will be regular season champs and choke in the playoffs as usual.
They will then go on to find new European centers and 3 point assassins and stay relevant for another 5 years and be regular season contenders while other teams win rings.
You said you cant count on guys like Kawhi and Green in the playoffs. Which like i said i disagree with, well kawhi anyway. And you act like all the spurs do is shoot 3s. We dont live and die by the 3 as much as we use to, we actually havent been shooting it very well lately and we are still winning. And i again disagree with "great pointguards dont do in the playoffs." You cant compare tony to the players you named. He is out of there league, and if what you say is true, a nets team lead by Jason Kidd would have never even mad the finals. Also, I would agree with you about this whole pointguard thing if the spurs played hero ball, but they dont. They way they play teamball kind of shows with an elite point guard like tony, it is possible for deep playoff runs/championships. Yeah if they played like OKC or the Heat, tony wouldnt have the effect he does.
Allen is the glue that holds MEM and your saying Danny Green is better than him .... BLASMPHOUS
Grizzlies are a good team. Technically Spurs, Clippers and Grizzlies all deserve a fair shot, but I think Thunderefs will end up with a bunch of bs officiating. in an evenly officiated series, I think Spurs can take on anyone if we're healthy and play to our strengths.
Laker fan trying to talk about us.
Back to back 2nd round exits
OKC, because they're the team we'll most likely be playing with 3 fewer men on the court.
Will get 1st or 2nd most wins - will lose in WCF again
That is stupid GAYKER FANS for you to be honest. They talk alot of , which is why I hate most of their stupid ass fans.
Grizz haven't had the Spurs number since HWMNBN left. If the Spurs get the 1 seed they are locks for the WCF. As well as 3peat reg season champions
Spurs will lose to either OKC or Miami when they take a series lead and the refs intervene and hand it to the other team (just like last year). The only way this doesnt happen is if the spurs play 15+ points better than those teams 4/7 games... doubt that will happen
You're comparing the wrong people. You should be comparing the "functional" starters with each other, not just the "technical" starters. Ginobili should be matched up with Tony Allen. I'd give the offensive nod to Ginobili and the defensive nod to TA, and the overall nod to Ginobili.
So you're left with Rudy >>> Kawhi and Marc >>> Tiago. Gasol is obviously a vastly superior 1 on 1 post player than Tiago. Tiago's 1 on 1 post game is virtually non-existent, but his overall offensive game as a rolling role player is just as effective (if not more effective if we go by PER) than Gasol's. That being said, the fact that Gasol doesn't rely on guards feeding him the ball in pick and rolls is a very powerful advantage. Gasol still gets the comfortable nod over Tiago, but not to the extent you implied.
Defensively it's a wash. Gasol's BR defensive rating is 98. Tiago's BR defensive rating is 99. Gasol's BR offensive rating (ORtg) is 117, vs Tiago's 124 BR ORtg.
Yeah because it's only Laker fans that talk trash lol. Spurs fans...can't wait till Timmy and Popo retire and Spurs fade back into oblivion like the Lebron-less Cavs.
Can't wait until the Lakers lose a couple games in a row again and your ass runs and hides at LG per par...
better hope the league doesn't continue on its path towards a hard cap, otherwise the days of purple and gold dominance will come to a crashing halt. then you'll have no more advantage than the rest of us. though Dr. Buss or his dip son can save the extra cash and have more tacos for the illega....fans.
Wasn't the hard cap effective as of the offseason? Didn't the Lakers get the two best FREE AGENTS in the entire NBA arguably since the 2010 FA with Lebron? Please, Lakers will keep Dwight, acquire Kyrie Irving in a few years, set a new dynasty while Spurs will be #1 in the west during the regular season. And lose again
Don't sleep on them! Boring = 4 rings
No, there's no hard cap in the league... there's stricter luxury tax penalties that will gradually kick in throughout the next few years though, tbh...
A hard cap is inevitable though considering the amount of failing small market teams around the league... if that isn't addressed, the NBA will turn into an NHL-like mess...
Do you understand what "hard cap" means, tbh?
Yes, my point is the Lakers were supposedly going to be handicapped by this last year and couldnt pursue Dwight or CP3 supposedly. They got both, minus the blockage by Stern. I promise you, it may delay the inevitable but the Lakers will be back on top again...probably not with this nucleus thoug.
